Question

What is an algorithm ? What the characteristics neccesary for squence of insturctions to qualify as an algorithm?

Answer 1

The characteristics of a good algorithm are: Precision – the steps are precisely stated(defined). Uniqueness – results of each step are uniquely definedand only depend on the input and the result of the precedingsteps. Finiteness – the algorithm stops after a finite number ofinstructions are executed.
